WestStar Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:WER) (the "Company", "WestStar") has
completed the previously announced Induced Polarization/Resistivity
("IP/Resistivity") survey and has begun planning for the upcoming diamond drill
program on its La Paloma property (the "Property"). The Property is located
approximately 70 kilometers west of the city of Guadalajara in the State of
Jalisco, Mexico. 


The IP/Resistivity survey at the La Paloma property consisted of a total of 5.8
line-kilometres (line-km) which were surveyed along a series of seven lines
targeting an 800 metre strike extent of the Main "Piedra Bola" Vein structure.
The IP survey represents the final stage in WestStar's "Phase 1" exploration
program that included property wide geologic mapping, the collection of 194 rock
grab and rock channel samples, 656 soil samples and 174 stream sediment samples.
In addition, a total of 20.8 line-km of ground magnetic survey was completed
(click on the link to view an exploration map of the work completed by WestStar:

WestStar is currently selecting drill targets in preparation for a 2,000-metre
diamond drill program. The drill program will target the most prospective
anomalies within the Main "Piedra Bola" Vein structure as well as evaluating the
potential of additional mineralized veins on the Property. 


Mitchell Adam, President, states, "We are extremely encouraged with the results
of the Phase 1 exploration program and feel the work to date has culminated in
potentially high success drill targets for WestStar. Since acquiring this past
producing gold and silver property WestStar has completed a series of work
programs to focus our future drilling on the Property."


About the Drill Targets at La Paloma

Main "Piedra Bola" Vein 

Geological mapping within the La Paloma Property has defined a steeply southwest
dipping vein structure (Main "Pedra Bola" Vein) over a 1-kilometre strike
length. Rock channel sampling across the Piedra Bola Vein assayed up to 0.84
grams-per-tonne (g/t) gold, and 64 g/t silver over 6 metres (Channel 2).
Individual mineralized rock samples of outcropping quartz veins returned assays
of up to 7.81 g/t gold and 311 g/t silver (sample 11DMP135). The Piedra Bola
Vein is coincident with a broad 400 x 1,000 metre greater than 10
parts-per-billion (ppb) gold in soil anomaly that encompasses the nearby Ridge
Showing. Individual soil samples within the Piedra Bola Vein soil anomaly have
returned assays of up to 3.69 g/t gold.


Ridge Showing 

The Ridge showing mentioned above is situated about 300 metres to the southwest
of the Piedra Bola Vein. The Ridge Showing covers an area of approximately 100
by 30 metres. This area hosts centimetre-scale branching quartz veinlets and
quartz vein breccias. The Ridge Showing is coincident with a 300 x 300 metre,
multi-line, greater than 10 ppb gold in soil anomaly that extends over a 200
metre vertical elevation range. Individual soil samples within the Ridge Showing
anomaly have retuned assays of up to 557 ppb gold.


East Vein 

A second Eastern vein structure ("East Vein") located 195 metres to the
northeast of the Piedra Bola Vein has been traced for approximately 200 metres
so far. The Company aspires to increase this strike length with further work.
Rock channel sampling of this highly altered northwest trending topographic low
lineament has returned assays of 8.6 g/t silver over 4 metres (Channel 6).


About the La Paloma Property 

WestStar has an option to earn 60% and up to 80% of the Property subject to a 2%
NSR. The Property lies at the very southern end of the Sierra Madre Occidental
physiographic province which is well known for gold and silver mineralization
and mining. The primary goal of WestStar will be to work the Property and to
define a compliant gold and silver resource in the future.


History of the La Paloma Property 

The Property was, at one time, owned by Penoles who relinquished it in 1980. In
1983 and 1984 the Consejo de Recursos Minerales ("CRM"), a government agency,
drained and entered the northern end of the main tunnel of the Veta Ancha
workings and sampled an exploration drift approximately 100 metres from the 1928
planned mining to the northwest. Based on this work CRM reported a "potential
reserve" of 750,000 tonnes grading 4.19 g/t Au and 123 g/t Ag from the CRM. This
estimate must be considered a historical resource and does not meet the National
Instrument 43-101 definitions for a resource or reserve as stated in sections
1.2 and 1.3. There has been no opportunity to verify either the grade or size of
the reported "reserve" and therefore the estimate cannot be considered to comply
with NI 43-101. At this time, Snowden has not completed sufficient work to
classify the historical reserve estimate as either a current mineral resource or
mineral reserve. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as a
current mineral resource or mineral reserve as defined in NI 43-101, and
therefore the historical estimate should not be relied upon.

on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future
performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those
in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include unsuccessful
exploration results, changes in metals prices, changes in the availability of
funding for mineral exploration, unanticipated changes in key management
personnel and general economic conditions. Mining is an inherently risky
business. Accordingly the actual events may differ materially from those
